I just had filler in my lips but have not seen a change, what can I do to enlarge my lips? (Photos)

Question

Hi doctors I wanna ask you about my lips, I just did filler but my lips haven't changed, only a little.  I just want you to tell me what I can do and how many times I need the filler for my lips as they are small.

Jonathan Kulbersh, MD · Answer

Additional filler or a thicker type of filler may be needed to get your desired results. I recommend following up with your injector about your desired results. Hope this helps.

Although lips can accommodate a large volume of filler, this is not advisable for many reasons. I am sure you will find many voices  advocating  the "more is better by any available means". Your lips are quite full and  not that far from being un-natural in form and proportion. One of the most overlooked aesthetic aspect is of critical importance. Looking at the lips in isolation and simplistic concentration on their volume leads always to aesthetic failure, a "done" look or a "duck" lip. Lips, like any individual part of the face , must be viewed in the context of entire face and distinctive individual features. Otherwise, it is a "paint by numbers" activity, aesthetically futile and displeasing. Just imagine the classical figurative sculptures of distinctively different characters but with the same volume and shape of the lips. You will not find it in art yet it is an accepted norm in aesthetic medicine. In summary, I suggest you re-consider further lip enhancement at this time, stay natural to fully enjoy your beauty. Good luck!

Thank you for your question! You may have to do something a little more thicker in your lips or something that holds more water. You need to speak to your doctor and see what they recommend. Best of luck!
